the current OP references nothing after atom heart father, so they'd have to have a final OP to cover everything past that or else it's going to be super outdated

On one hand, pretty good because we're looking at third cour (I think that's how the seasons are measured) and that's about where the series will step into a new chapter as well. On the other, the OP does kinda set the stage for the rest of the series as well.

It's not a ghost, but probably a 'living corpse'. The 'living dead' with a hell of a lot of bloodlust...
I am hyped to see a new OP with Mikitaka, Stray Cat and the Kawajiri fam in a few weeks. Hopefully it will have better music.

There better be some Highway Star foreshadowing in there, too.

I like how there are like, what, 4 or 5 different JoJos in part 8 so far?

Norisuke used to be called Josuke, so he's a JoJo, then Gappy is Josuke, then there is Josefumi, and Jobin, and Joshuu.

I dunno how there wouldn't be. Like, they'd probably toss in some kind of silhouette of the footprints or something.

5 Jojos

40 Oras

E: speaking of that joke, I'm watching a let's play of Eyes of Heaven and, plotwise, it really is the Crisis on Infinite Jojos fanfiction we always wanted. A shame the gameplay itself doesn't measure up.

Pretty good I'd say. The 39 episode count puts us into Act 3 of Part 4 after Ep 26 (which should be Janken Boy Is Coming unless Atom Heart Father is longer than I thought). chase didn't start till Ep. 15 tho so it might be a bit longer.

I doubt we'll get a new ED, but I wonder if we'd get any new visuals.

Jobin and Joshuu aren't Jojos. The second Jo is very important, they are lovely Jojo knockoffs

I realized this when I woke up this morning. I remembered wrong, originally I was thinking that it was some part of Higashikata that could also be read as "Jo" but it's the "suke" part that can be read as "jo"


So 3 jojos at most, whoops my bad

Gappy's "suke" is a different kanji than Josuke Classic and I don't know whether or not that one can be read as Jo. However, Norisuke's "suke" is the same as Our Good Boy, so yes, at least 2 Jojos.

Actually, part 4's Josuke's name is 仗助 and Josuke 2.0's name is 定助; they have the same "suke" (being a common component of given names for boys), but the Jo is different! Norisuke's birth name is 常助, yet another Josuke - and he's the 4th Higashikata Norisuke, and his mom is Higashikata Tomoko, so he's more Josuke than Jojolion Josuke in some respects.

Buuut J8suke is part Kujo Josefumi, who can also be a Jojo, and part Kira Yoshikage, who in this universe is the son of Holly Joestar; they both seem to take the place of SBR Jotaro, at least genealogically (unless that's going to be Kyo). So he's like...at least twice the Jojo of any other protagonist.

Gappy's "suke" is the same as part 4 Josuke and Norisuke (both in the name Norisuke and his birthname Josuke): 助. All three have a different "jo" though (with Norisuke's birth name's "jo" 常 being the same as Joshu, Jobin, and the previous Norisukes)

e: fb (though at least only I pointed out the connection with Joshu and Jobin)

If her mother's Italian then that would make her 1/4 Japanese, 1/2 Italian and 1/4 English. It's kinda funny how there aren't any full-blooded Japanese Jojos until part 8 (I would assume since I haven't read it).

Josuke's got too much blood, he has extra "blooded". He's also English 'cos I said so.


Even discounting Josefumi's side of family relations, Kira was related to Johnny, so he's got American blood in him to some degree.
